POCO is unveiling the POCO X3 Pro in India on March 30 but it is already holding a global event on March 22 where it is expected to unveil two smartphones- POCO X3 Pro and POCO F3. In this article, let’s focus on the POCO X3 Pro that is launching as a 2021 flagship killer and take a look at its expected specs, features, and price.

POCO X3 Pro- What’s New?

Right from the word get-go, POCO has been teasing a flagship experience on the POCO X3 Pro like its 2018 POCO F1. Despite bringing it under a different series i.e, X, the device is certainly going to focus on performance & balancing the price-performance ratio.

POCO X3, which launched in September 2020, was a budget smartphone with a new Snapdragon 732G processor at that time. Likewise, the company wants to debut the ‘Pro’ variant with an unannounced Snapdragon 860 chipset. This is said to be an overclocked version of the already existing Snapdragon 855+.

Leaked renders showed that the device will have a similar design to the POCO X3. However, the ‘Pro’ is confirmed to get the improved Corning Gorilla Glass 6 protection. Speaking of renders, the POCO X3 Pro is said to come in three colors- Phantom Black, Metal Bronze, and Frost Blue options.

POCO is gearing for a launch event both in India and other global markets. At the event, the company is expected to launch the flagship killer POCO X3 Pro. Surprisingly, POCO India hasn’t revealed the name officially yet. However, today, the company has teased the presence of Corning Gorilla Glass on it.

POCO India, in an official tweet, shared a video of the toughness test of the Gorilla Glass 6. If you recall, Corning launched the Gorilla Glass 6 back in 2018 with 2x durability than the predecessor.

Anyway, the upcoming POCO X3 Pro‘s display will feature the Gorilla Glass 6 with improved scratch resistance and durability. In the video, POCO also shows a test where the Gorilla Glass is able to handle a load of about 28.65Kgf. That said, the company hasn’t confirmed if both the front and back of the device will have it.

Yesterday, we saw leaked renders of the POCO X3 Pro and the device looks very similar to its smaller sibling, POCO X3. And the non-Pro, which launched in September 2020, has an LCD display protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and not 6. Looks like POCO is making a few changes to make the flagship killer worthy of its price.

POCO X3 Pro Global launch is said to happen this month, i.e, March 2021. Ahead of the launch, the device has already received certifications like FCC, NBTC, BIS, and SIRIM. Today, 91Mobiles have partnered with Twitter user Sudhanshu to leak the storage and color variants of the device.

As per the report, POCO X3 Pro will have the following storage, color variants, and Europe pricing:

• POCO X3 Pro Colors
  • Blue, Black, Bronze
• POCO X3 Pro memory variants
  • 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM
  • 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM

Further, Sudhanshu also says that the Europe prices for the POCO X3 Pro will probably start at €250 for the 6GB/128GB variant and the 8GB/256GB variant could debut for €300.

POCO hasn’t started teasing the device officially yet but we have signs for an imminent launch already. Recently, tech influencer Mukul Sharma tweeted that the POCO X3 Pro Global launch could be in March.

This happened a couple of days after POCO Global Spokesperson hinted at a new launch this month. Besides launching Globally in markets like Europe, the device is also expected to arrive in Asian markets like India, Malaysia, and Thailand.

As for specs, the POCO X3 Pro is tipped to feature a Snapdragon 860 SoC which isn’t official yet. Qualcomm has launched a pumped version of the Snapdragon 865+ as the 870 and similarly, the Snapdragon 860 is expected to be a boosted version of Snapdragon 855+.

Further, the device will likely feature a 120Hz IPS LCD panel and a 5,200mAh battery. The POCO X3 had a 64MP Quad-camera setup and going by the naming, we can expect some improvements in the camera department of the POCO X3 Pro.

However, let’s wait for the official info to get an idea of how good a sibling is the POCO X3 Pro to the already selling POCO X3.
